Best Earn Poems

pandemic crisis
hospital overload
unprecedented 
panic mode
double shifts
no time for tears
no one signed up 
for a suicide mission 
taking its toll
heroes collapsing
one after the other
earning their wings

Earn it
if you want it.
My heart is not a toy;

He is a mechanic
Repairing failed brakes
to help or to worsen
I know not

for many have fallen victims
in his act of mechanikism
the failed brake he repairs
but to second mission it

He wants it second missioned
but the result he reasons not
for life he thinks laughed
The car now bloody...

To learn is to earn, to earn is to learn
Learning is earning, earning is learning
Is the word learning same from earning?
Does learning and earning always go together?
Learning to earn is like the greatest learning
Earning to learn is an incredible earning
People prefer to learn and earn...

Adam and Eve sneaked back to the Garden
Hoping to earn for their sin a pardon
   Eve saw the damn snake
   And began to quake
Snapped snake: "Out of this garden you're barred in."...

Do you make sure to tap all the dirt from your spikes with your bat,
 even if it takes two full-length TV time-outs for you to do so?

Do you cross yourself once, twice, thrice,
 or perhaps fidget and fiddle with the letters on your uniform,

I be dealing on the side 
To make ends meet
So forgive me if I prefer to hide,
It's my end that I don't want to meet 

Cause I've got many mouths to feed 
And many faces looking at me
So that when I speak they lip read,
For...

Think twice first
Before you buy something; 
Do you really need it? 
Or would you only like it having? 

Never must one be envious, 
Competing against another; 
Budget hard-earned income, 
To grow, thrive and prosper.

Never become shopaholic, 
Be a wise spender instead; 
Having no ways and...

M-en's given respect 
H-as to be ardently earned; 
A-sking is not an option, 
R-equest too is just burned.

M-an must learn to respect, 
E-arly eighth of September; 
M-aking someone's esteem
B-ig, great, and better: 
R-egard is highly special, 
E-ven utmost and perfect; 
V-ery good in your endeavor,...

J-ust earn enough money, 
O-r make both ends meet;

E-ach job must be legal or

S-ixth of March early Tuesday; 
P-ay all your bills on time, 
L-ive your life in a nice way. 
A-lmighty God will...

Earn the love  and keep it,
turn each impossible thought
into a believable fact;
earn it and be worthy of it.

Paint love in bright colors,
accept the joys it gives,
don't reject its boring times:
follow in the footsteps of lovers.

Earn the love and keep it,
strengthen it
with togetherness 
and push...

Rise up and earn the victory
Do not settle for second best
You have come to far
Always motivated to strive for excellence
Continue to reach for the stars
Put yourself in the position to aspire
Walk along the golden path
Always reach higher...

To this day, the breath labours on still 
Marrow birthing blood same as ever 
to keep this battered carriage oiled
The soul wills the flesh to hobble on 
and prays the spirit keeps aflame 
The game remains the same 
to this day some will insist 
I'm...

I get it
I finally understand
You did not feel like my first choice
And the problem is you weren't
But you should have been
I treated you like I have been treated before
I once felt like you
I didn't realize that until it was too late
That is how come I...
